[QUOTE="besauve, post: 66652, member: 4001"] I should have been more clear. I did assume a re-barreling if I changed calibers. Sorry for the confusion. This wouldn't be a bench gun, but rather one that I use for hunting in the offhand, sitting and prone positions (most often the latter two when at all possible). This rifle was stocked in a McMillan A-2, but is being re-stocked into a McMillan A-5 at this time. While it weighed about 16 lbs, I expect that the A-5 will reduce total weight by 1 lb. I think LB was reading my mind about just making a change for change sake. Darn it though, I have a ton of 300 WM cases around and it would be a shame to abandon the caliber. I've done it once before with another rifle, switching from 300 WM to 7x61 S&H. In my experience, compared to other calibers I've shot, I've really had a tough time with the 300 WM's getting them to shoot well. I guess what I'm curious about is if the new short 300 mag's offer an inherent accuracy advantage over the 300 WM given accuracy is many times found in shorter fatter cases with sharper angled shoulders.
